Hi

I don't believe the service pack is an issue as we are running the same
library on W2K3 Sp1 with 3 LTO3 drives without problems.
I would suggest to use the TSM windows Management plugin (MMC) go to the
device page under the tsm server instance and compare your path definition
with what windows can see.
It looks funny to me that the library manager doesn?t have the lowest SCSI
address.

Are the library and drives online?
 
Kind Regards
 
Marco Malgarini

I´m not an expert on your HW but your output says "2    4.0/6.0  IBM
4560SLX          0425    0429    Out of date" . Maybe you should try to
upgrade the library firmware and check that drive and path definitions are
ok.

I guess so; do you think SP1 for Windows cause the problem?
